Description

Eco-friendly and hazardous substance-absorbing wallpaper using kenaf fiber The present invention relates to wallpaper using kenaf fibers. More specifically, it relates to wallpaper using kenaf fibers that is environmentally friendly and capable of absorbing harmful substances. Wallpaper is a general term for decorative materials attached to interior walls to provide an interior design effect. While it is generally made of woven fabric or paper, deco tiles that partially incorporate stone or plastic are also widely used these days. Conventional wallpapers as described above were primarily required to function only as decorative materials. Meanwhile, recent buildings are constructed based on concrete, and building materials containing concrete have been reported to emit radon or other chemicals. Furthermore, because concrete absorbs moisture, wallpaper also presents a problem of vulnerability to bacteria and mold. For this reason, research is currently being conducted on wallpapers that are eco-friendly and can contribute to reducing harmful substances, such as chemicals that may remain indoors. The advantages and features of the present invention and the methods for achieving them will become clear by referring to the embodiments described below in detail together with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below but can be implemented in various different forms. The embodiments are provided merely to ensure that the disclosure of the present invention is complete and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the invention, and the present invention is defined only by the scope of the claims. Furthermore, the scope of patent claims is not a matter describing the technical content that constitutes the substance of the invention, but rather a matter indicating what scope is claimed as a right based on the technical configuration disclosed in the detailed description of the invention. Therefore, it is somewhat inevitable that the scope of patent claims is composed of abstract higher-level concepts that include the technology disclosed in the detailed description of the invention, and if a person skilled in the art can understand the technical configuration, combination, and functional effects belonging to the scope of patent claims through the entire specification, then the scope of patent claims should be considered to be supported by the detailed description of the invention. That is, various modifications may be made to the embodiments presented in the present invention. The embodiments described below are not intended to limit the forms of practice and should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions thereof. If any term described in this specification is to be used with a specific meaning, such meaning may be defined and used, and it should be interpreted accordingly. Unless otherwise defined, all terms used in this specification (including technical and scientific terms) may be used in a meaning that is commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Furthermore, terms defined in commonly used dictionaries are not to be interpreted ideally or excessively unless explicitly and specifically defined otherwise. In this specification, "and/or" includes each of the mentioned items and all combinations of one or more. Also, the singular form includes the plural form unless specifically stated otherwise in the text. As used in this specification, "comprises" and/or "comprising" do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other components in addition to the mentioned components. A numerical range indicated by "to" indicates a numerical range that includes the values listed before and after it as a lower and upper limit, respectively. "Approximately" or "about" means a value or numerical range within 20% of the value or numerical range listed after it. In this specification, when referring to components, ordinal modifiers such as 'first component,' 'second component,' and 'first-1 component' are used merely to distinguish one component from another. Accordingly, the first component referred to below may be referred to as the second component within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention. For example, what is referred to as the first component in one embodiment may be referred to as the second component in another embodiment. Furthermore, it goes without saying that what is referred to as the first component in the description of the invention may be referred to as the second component in the claims. The present invention will be described in detail below. Kenaf ( Hibiscus cannabinus ) is an annual or biennial plant belonging to the Malvaceae family of the Malvales order of dicotyledonous plants. It is also known as Yangma or Hongma. It is known to be native to Africa and India. Traditionally, kenaf fibers have been utilized as raw mat
